Bright aromas of dark cherry and black raspberry on the nose. On the palate, upfront fruit appeal supported with underpinnings of complexity and slight white pepper spice.

The soft entry develops into a warm, full mid-palate with a finish that strikes the ideal balance of tannins, fruit and acidity.

Pairs well with herb-rubbed meats, spicy cuisine and hearty pastas.

Vineyard Notes

In the early 1900s, Seghesio Family Vineyards began purchasing fruit from growers in Dry Creek Valley in recognition of the area’s great potential for Zinfandel.

Our Dry Creek Valley appellation Zinfandel is sourced from some of the valley’s best benchland sites as well as from the estate-farmed Cortina vineyard, a dry-farmed, head-pruned vineyard in the heart of Dry Creek Valley that is named for the dominant soil type of this area.

Cortina is a gravelly loam that contributes to Dry Creek Valley’s reputation as one of the finest places in the world to grow Zinfandel.
